Vice Versa

What if everything
was
Rehearsed?-
Are we really living
in reverse?

Martin Luther King 
never had a dream,
Michael Jordan 
never won a ring,
Mahalia Jackson 
never chose to sing,
Black Egyptians 
were never kings-

-This cold world
is not judged by race,
Trayvon Martin's incident
never took place,
Neil Armstrong 
Never went to space,
Steven Bradbury
Never won 
First place,

The word Love
Really means Hate
So to do
good deeds-
Should one
become Irate?
What if heaven 
was really hell
Nicest spot 
in your town
is a jail cell-
Guys don't judge
based on flesh-
Jesse Pickens
is not the best..
